Chig Okonkwo vs Dalton Schultz
Dalton Schultz holds a 8.3% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/18/2026
THE CASE FOR OKONKWO
Okonkwo gives you a younger TE profile with more runway, which matters in dynasty even at a volatile position. If his WAS usage consolidates into a clear top-2 target role, his weekly ceiling will outpace the typical mid-TE tier. The market value gap (22% in his favor) still isn’t prohibitive, so you’re paying for upside rather than a locked-in decline window.
THE CASE FOR SCHULTZ
Schultz is the safer short-term bet for bankable snaps, routes, and red-zone usage, which is what actually stabilizes TE scoring in contenders. At 30, his dynasty window is narrower, but his role archetype (volume-dependent chain mover) tends to produce usable TE2/spot TE1 weeks when healthy. If you’re starting him, you’re buying fewer zeroes and less role risk than with most upside TEs.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Schultz if you need dependable points now; Okonkwo only if you can tolerate volatility for a higher ceiling outcome.
Okonkwo for age and potential role growth, since Schultz’s value is more likely to decay than appreciate.
Close enough that team direction decides it: Schultz for floor, Okonkwo for upside and longevity.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Worth more?
Okonkwo is worth more in dynasty markets right now (about a 22% edge) because age and theoretical upside are priced in.
Trade?
Contenders should try to buy Schultz plus a small add; rebuilders should take Okonkwo or pivot to a 2nd-equivalent if they can.
Superflex?
In SF, QB scarcity pushes both down the priority list, but the Okonkwo > Schultz value gap typically holds unless you’re contending and need immediate TE points.
